Water main project will impact Ogden Avenue traffic

An Ogden Avenue water main replacement in La Grange Park will likely impact traffic on the busy street for the next eight weeks, the Village of La Grange said in a Thursday news release.

The project, which started Wednesday, will affect a section of the street near Park Junior High School between Edgewood Avenue and Park Road, according to the release.

Construction at the site will run from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, the release states. The westbound lane of Ogden may be closed along with parts of Edgewood, Malden and Dover avenues and Park Road.

"Traffic delays and back-ups are likely to occur," the release states, advising drivers to seek alternate routes during construction hours.

The project will not affect La Grange's water system, according to the release.
